YouTube 2009-What Are The Changes?

I like the improvements. Plus a lot of that is conspiracy and very biased, the community matters to Google just as much as the partners.

Personally, i think youtube should have asked the community what they wanted, not just change it without notice...

I never used youtube until around 2008 so i haven't noticed many of these differences.

Ive used YouTube since late 2006/early 2007, some of the other changes are:
Bought by Google (2007)
Allowed profile picture uploading (December 2007)
Changing the video limit from 100 MB to 1 GB (Spring 2008)
Username info in top left-hand corner going from "Hello, Darkspy946" to "Hi, Darkspy946!" to simply "Darkspy946".
New channels (2009)
New inbox (Spring 2008)
New account and videos, favourites etc pages (Spring & Summer 2008)
New player (June 2008)
New homepage (June 2008)
Warp (February 2008 - Removed when player was changed)
Channel layout revamp (August 2008)

Not all changes are bad

they should delete the 10 minute rule

Nope, you can only have past 10 mins if you either have the directors promotion or if you are a youtube partner. YES THEY SHOULD GET RID OF IT BUT THE ANSWER THEY WILL GIVE BACK IS WHAT I JUST SAID...

They should have like 15-20 minutes for members and longer for others.

BUT IM REALLY TIRED OF THAT RULE IT PISSES ME OFF

The only things I hate about YouTube are:
1: The dumb 2.0 channels.
2: Suspending innocent users for no reason.
3: 10-minute time limit for videos (except for partners )

ITS NOT A PARTNER, type just Microsoft in the YT URL

Partners are just basically users that are promoting ads. You stop promoting ads, youtube don't want your partnership :-(

Partners and ads are googles way of making money.
YouTube takes up loads of bandwith, must cost millions. They have to get that money from somewhere.

I don't care, Something good is always bought out by a company, and then "made for mainstream" which means we are going to make it harder for users and better for our sponsors. Its bulls--t we will have to live with for the rest of our lives, in 2014 when youtube dies, the next best thing will happen, we will get 4 years of awesomeness, then it will be bought out by another company, cycle begins again.

We can't change it, we can only hope youtube dies sooner.

If people don't like YouTube they should just leave.

Same, but I also hate that the bulletins have been removed.

For people that didn't know me on my old account: I joined YouTube in September 2008 with an account called "ale12396" but guess what? They suspended me for no reason so I created "TheComputerGuy96" which is more popular.
